118. A doomed negotiation
People follow the prestige, and this person is so recognizable that it only takes one eye to recognize him. Dressed in decent clothes, with brown hair, fluffy and slightly messy short hair, a handsome face, pale complexion, and a book-like temperament, he is not very old, but his face is covered with wrinkles that represent the passage of time.
Kingdom of Bamart, colony of the Eastern Continent, lord of Fort Leyte, Duke of Eugene.
To be honest, if among the twelve people here, there is no doubt that Zhu Huan has to come up with someone who is still guarded, there is no doubt that it is this Duke Eugene.
It's not that Zhu Huan doesn't trust him, or that this person is a sinister and cunning person, on the contrary, whether it is in his own country or later when he comes to the Eastern Continent to take up his post, this Duke of Eugene has a very good reputation among the common people, and during his tenure, no matter what aspect he is, he has something remarkable.
And the reason why Zhu Huan doesn't trust him is because the current Bamat Kingdom does not have its own king, and the previous king of Bamat has no heir, and after his death, the king of the Smolin Kingdom who has a marriage with him will take over the king's position, so the current Bamat Kingdom is essentially ruled by the Smolin king.
The Smollen Kingdom, as one of the five most powerful countries in the human race, did not participate in this meeting of colonial city lords, in fact, this Duke of Eugene, although he nominally belongs to the Kingdom of Bamat, but at this time, His Majesty the King of Smollene is also his Majesty, and it stands to reason that he should not come to this meeting either.
After all, political matters are very sensitive, and this highly respected Duke should not be foolish enough to make a 'wrong' choice on such an external matter.
So it is not unreasonable for Zhu Huan to suspect this person.
It doesn't matter if he only came to listen to the content of the meeting on behalf of the Smollen Kingdom, anyway, for the dignitaries of various countries, this is not a secret meeting, and the content of this meeting will be spread sooner or later.
The only thing Zhu Huan guarded against was whether this person would make trouble at this meeting. After all, only one-third of the thirty-four participants actually attended, which already made Zhu Huan feel very shameless, and if he was inserted again, it would really be a slap in the face in front of everyone.
"So, Your Highness King Chen, please state the purpose of this meeting. ”
Although it was just a question that had to be raised sooner or later, when he thought that the person who raised this question was the object of his defense, Zhu Huan always felt that something not very good would happen.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Huan said: "It's very simple, unify all the human forces in the Eastern Continent and form an alliance that can represent all the human beings in the Eastern Continent, the human beings in the Eastern Continent should have only one voice, and all countries should abandon their previous suspicions, obey the dispatch of the alliance, form an alliance army, and make various preparations for the upcoming crisis." ”
......
I sat in the conference room for a whole morning, but there was no progress on the question of forming an alliance.
Lin Jue walked out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and came to the street, he sighed helplessly, there was no way, there was only one Yan Empire, and the other three small countries, no matter how you talked about it, they could not represent the human race of the entire Eastern Continent.
Just like Zhu Huan has been guarding against Eugene, Eugene did not live up to Zhu Huan's expectations, and did give a difficult problem, even if Zhu Huan wanted to continue to work hard, he was asked a fatal question by Duke Eugene, which caused the whole discussion to collapse: "When the alliance is formed, who will control this army?"
With the Yan Empire's strong strength, the control of this army can naturally only be in their hands, and the other small countries are of course not happy about this. They themselves don't have much power to deal with external threats, and once a coalition is formed, it means that their strength will be weakened 100%.
And in the end, it is necessary to contribute money and efforts to support the coalition army, and the control of the army has nothing to do with them, and no one will do a thankless deal.
Lin Jue wailed softly, and said helplessly: "This is always just a world where civilization is in the basic stage, you have to get by, you can't see the future at all, and it is completely impossible to raise their crisis awareness among the rulers who only think about food all day long!"
To be honest, he was quite disappointed that the main purpose of coming to Dawning City this time was not accomplished.
Even if it is not completed, there are two things that must be done next, the first is to escort the tulips back to the elven kingdom, and the other is to pass on the goodwill of Dawn City to the dwarves.
Even if there is no complete unity of voice within the human race, the pact with the dwarves is not impossible.
The matter of Dawning City is over, and now it is finally time to go home.
However, when he saw Lin Yue, who was waiting for him in the shade, and the little hamster in her hand, under the house directly opposite the Dawning City City Lord's Mansion, this disappointment gradually turned into despair.
"This trip is really a big loss, not only did I not complete the mission, but I also had to bring a mouse back, oh my God, it was terrifying!"
However, beside Lin Yue, there was also a delicate figure standing, she seemed to have a good conversation with Lin Yue, and the two were teasing the poor little hamster with great interest.
The figure had his back to Lin Jue, although he always felt that this figure was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
When he walked to the two of them, Lin Yue, who was facing Lin Jue, naturally saw him and waved his hand excitedly to say hello.
Then, the figure also turned around, and the moment Lin Jue saw this face, the first thought that came to his mind was to run away quickly.
This person is Lu Haoyue.
No wonder Lin Jue always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't recognize it.
The pretty face with a little pink was matched with gorgeous official clothes that could make her temperament stand out, but today she is wearing a pink skirt.
"If the good ones don't come, and the ones who come are not good, they slip away first. ”
Lin Jue showed an ugly smile and said with a smile: "What, Lord Lu is really a coincidence, have you eaten? Well, you must have eaten, but we haven't eaten yet, then you continue, let's withdraw first, Yue'er, let's go." ”
Lin Jue couldn't help but say nothing, and directly dragged Lin Yue to leave directly.
But Lu Haoyue naturally wouldn't let him succeed so easily.
I saw her leaning directly on Lin Jue and hugging him, holding his arm with both hands, and taking this arm into her arms.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Governor, this official hasn't eaten yet, why don't I have a treat?"
Although these words had an inquiring tone, Lin Jue clearly felt the unquestionable tone.
